ZZ... if you would indulge me... would it be okay if I summarised exactly what you are claiming as things stand today?
Forget the January stuff, deals fail for many reasons... so let's go with what you are stating at the moment...
1. There is going to be a press conference next week on Mark Hughes.
2. Mourinho has drifted to the top of the pile for next season's manager.
3. Hamann is going to become coach at City this summer.
4. Yaya Toure is lined up as our first signing.
5. Stevie Ireland is moving to Spain...???
Can you confirm?
Is there anything else?
At least this way we can compare you with Ajay! Best of Luck in the ITK Trophy chase...
OMG, having been warned through pm's to expect this, I can't actually comprehend the void some people need filling. Soulboy this isn't a attack b4 you go on the offensive, but, and again this isn't aimed at you, i've stated numerous times but stuff is filtering over from the muen that I can assure you isn't me. Now to clarify:
(1) + (2) Not two weeks ago I was told that the forces in abu dhabi were upset that Hughes was receiving such barracking in the media with regards to his job, they were going to issue a statement as to reinforce commitment to him, however having received tit bits of info regarding the Mourinho rumor, I contacted my confidant who indeed is privy to such info, and he literally said the two twigs that were rubbed together are now very much a forest fire, in other words the board are being coy due to a) hughes has started to develop good relations with the staff, which I posted last week b) as much as those who detest him, they are indeed a minority, consensus is growing support for him, so to conclude the point the owners are boxing clever, unlike ricky, and if jose says yes, which signs point to that, he will be in, and be prepared for it to happen very quickly if it does.
3)Hamann has indeed been offered a coaching role, but all contract negotiations are on hold, I wonder why? That goes for Studge, Ireland, BERTI, and Zara Billington.
4) Again as I expressed yesterday, Yaya is a golden egg Barcelona are willing to trade as to not get into a bidding war over David Villa..... and that is the hot itk
5) Not even gonna warrant a response. Beware of tim burgess.
